I've been playing in EVE off and on (mostly on) since June 2003. This update...wow, trying to be polite here...
Okay. The first term that comes to mind is "sucketh the big one".
1. CQ is currently useless. Yes its a "first step". Of course in the world of software, that equals: "You are now beta testing something not ready for primetime".
2. For a new player, this WOULD be a nice thing if it weren't so laggy/buggy/hardware crippling, as the NPE is really sweet, but after that...not so much. You have taken away ease of use (the hangar) and replaced it with bobbing head dolls of the WOW/Evercrack 3rd person silliness ilk.
My concept of "VR world" is obviously not what most "gamers" think of. I want to look out at the world through my virtual eyes...NOT stare at the back of my head. I GET 3rd person view when it comes to the ship, but when I get out of the pod, I'd like to NOT lose the immersion by seeing some cartoony figure bobbin' about on the screen.
Oh and thanks for blowing game continuity with CQ as well. We're in goo pods. But docking as it is currently negates all of the ingame lore/history/mechanics. Looks cute, but...where oh WHERE is the pod process we saw at FF awhile back? hmmmmmmm? -now THAT CQ would have been awesome...just sayin'.
On that subject, this has the look/n/feel of a seriously rushed out the door bugfest. I have to right click to exit a ship...but I'm obviously IN MY QUARTERS. Same issues with clone jumping and such. How this could have been overlooked bodes ill for what ELSE lies beneath the hood of the game.
2. System resources and fps are crud when in CQ. nuff said as its already been said multiple times.
3. Rest of the update? Where are the promised fixes to just tons of stuff that needs fixing? Where are the updates to FW? 0.0/lowsec? and the list goes on and on.
This patch/update feels like what it probably is...a beta test for other games, and THAT is a deep disappointment for this longtime player.
You asked.
